Taken with an ED80 and Canon 500D with a Baader Solar Cap fitted. Sun overexposed to bring out cloud detail
A collage of four different processing techniques of the sun.
Totally by mistake I placed them in this order for annotation but the view on the screen captured my eye
This artist's concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance. One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, is about 30 AU.
Informally, the term "solar system" is often used to mean the space out to the last planet. Scientific consensus, however, says the solar system goes out to the Oort Cloud, the source of the comets that swing by our sun on long time scales. Beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, the gravity of other stars begins to dominate that of the sun.
The inner edge of the main part of the Oort Cloud could be as close as 1,000 AU from our sun. The outer edge is estimated to be around 100,000 AU.
NASA's Voyager 1, humankind's most distant spacecraft, is around 125 AU. Scientists believe it entered interstellar space, or the space between stars, on Aug. 25, 2012. Much of interstellar space is actually inside our solar system. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun. AC +79 3888 is actually traveling faster toward Voyager 1 than the spacecraft is traveling toward it.
The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The Voyager missions are a part of NASA's Heliophysics System Observatory, sponsored by the Heliophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

A macro shot of small solar cells on my pocket calculator. I guess that the dust gives a feeling for the size of the visible part of the solar cells.
Captured with my iPhone 8 and the "Black Eye" macro lens.
Thank you for viewing, commenting and / or adding this photo to your favorites. It's very much appreciated.
Solar Coaster.
Solar Coaster was do just that in the November winds that had come ashore at Port Macquarie.
The sometimes strong winds provided the perfect conditions for sailors to take their yachts and spread their sails on the waters of the Hastings River.

Pyramids of light beams shining through the fog and clouds and incandescent tower tops at the Ivanpah concentrated solar thermal plant give an oddly spiritual look to an otherwise industrial facility.

While East Texas wasn't in the path of totality for yesterday's Great American Solar Eclipse, the experience was still quite fantastic. With multiple telescopes running, I had one dedicated to gathering images over certain time intervals. With this, I put together a collage of the eclipsing from beginning to end. My location reached the eclipse factor maximum at 79%, which was more than I had ever witnessed previously! Enjoy!

Another capture of the wonderful Sunset this evening and managed to get to a location shooting straight into the Power Lines enabling me to name this Image Solar Power.
2017 Solar eclipse taken from Jackson Wyoming with a Nikon 500mm f/4 lens and a 2x teleconverter on a Sony A7RII.
Stitching 6 images together of the total solar eclipse on 8/21/17. It was a bluebird day east of Unity, Oregon.
Drove from Cape Coral, FL to Lake Murray in South Carolina to see the 100% view of the solar eclipse. Definitely worth it for this shot! Anyone that knows me, knows I live for photos like this.
For this week's Flickr Friday theme "modern times"
It's not very easy to access (for obvious reasons) so took this through a gate, with signs around stating that the fences are electrified)!

Elle peut sembler monochrome vue de loin, mais la Station spatiale internationale est en réalité très colorée. Sur le panneau solaire du Cygnus que vous aviez peut-être reconnu - depuis le temps 😉 - toutes les teintes de rouge s’affichent au milieu du jaune !
Another colourful zoom on Space Station hardware, you should be able to know what this is by now, the Cygnus solar panels photobomb many of our pictures, but it is fine, they are so beautiful! :) ☀☂
